LOGINChapter Five
It's the weekend _^_Time to party. Entering into the Makolo mansion to celebrate their 50th years anniversary and retirement from Glams enterprises. Emily's jaw dropped as soon as she entered the mansion. Her eyes roamed the gigantic mansion. The decorators have done a wonderful job by decorating the house with lovely designs. It was absolutely stunning. She walked down the stairs elegantly. Rosie had left her as she was here first for work before relaxation. She has to order her workers to set up the cake that she baked specially for Mr and Mrs Makolo to look just like a castle in the most stylish palatable manner. Emily was stuck all by herself. She looked around and couldn't see any familiar faces. She decided to concentrate on her phone reading a romance novel. The laughter, chatting and merriment from inside distracted her as much as she wanted to concentrate. Rosie walked up to her “ where have you been, come inside Emily’ she said and she followed her to the hall. “ This is a toast to a love so strong that nothing can separate its bond, a love so pure and a love so true that it stands the taste of time, a toast to the most lovely couple I have known, Mr and Mrs Makolo”. Mr. Makolo announced to everyone as they all clapped in unison. He continued as he announced the latest development. “ My company Glams enterprises has also been handed down to my son who has brought nothing but joy to us, Liam Makolo came forward, congratulations as the new C.E.O and no longer acting on my behalf”. Emily's eyes widened in shock as Liam smiled and hugged his dad. “ I promise to do my best to make you proud dad”. He said. He sighted Emily, and was shocked to find her here. He didn't inform anyone from the office about the party. He hadn't made any plans for his office to attend this event. “ Wow, you didn't tell me Mr. and Mrs. Makolo were your boss' parents, this is getting exciting”. “ Because I had no idea, I was stunned to see him here, he was the last person I expected, I certainly know he is not the party type so I guess not so surprised to see that he is the future heir of Mr. and Mrs. Makolo” Liam stepped down from the podium and walked straight towards Emily and Rosie direction“ Good day Sir, Emily stammered. “I see you are here. How are you enjoying the party? "he asked. Why is he being nice all of a sudden? Does he want to get mad at her for attending the party when she was certain she did not know he was going to be there? She smiled. “ The part is great, the music is good, thank you for having me. My friend Roise invited me”. “ You are welcome, it's lovely having you around” He said staring directly into her eyes as he patted her back and left. He went ahead to exchange pleasantries with other guests. “ What was that for? Rosie asked curiously. “ I don't know, he obviously sees me now as visible, not as invisible as I used to be at work or the little clumsy girl he met at the elevator”. “It is okay, no more chit-chat about your young, handsome hot boss”. “Come let's have a drink and get a little tipsy for once” “ A few shots wouldn't be bad to clear my head off though I need to clear my head off the fact that my cold boss is right here with me watching”. Oblivious of where she was going, Emily looked up to see the face of the person she had accidently bumped into. “I am so sorry, I wasn't looking”. “ Are you always this careless or you can't seem to resist touching me”. He snarled. “I had a little too much to drink, and it's taking a toll on me, where is my friend?” she asked a rhetorical question. Dragging her by the arms to sit on the couch. She was getting uncomfortable. “You should be careful or else someone might take advantage of you in this state” Laughing hysterically “ And when did my boss start caring about me, you don't even see me”. She said not filtering her words as she spoke them. He dropped his phone on the sofa and inched closer to her. “what are you talking about, I am your boss and you should listen to me, don't drink beer more than you can handle and mess yourself up like a child”. “ In as much as it's not my business you are still my employer and it matters” His chest close to her now and the proximity between them made her legs twitch. She pushed him away from her.” I am a little clumsy girl right? The one that you won't ever want to bother you, isn't it”. She said as they both stared into each other's eyes. Rosie came in seeing her friend totally drunk. “ OMG, I am so sorry sir, if only I have not force her to this party then she wouldn't be in this condition, thank you Sir for taking care of my friend while I was away”. Rosie explained to Liam who seem uninterested at the conversation. “ Next time tell her to be more mature and drink less”. He responded. “ I will, thanks for tonight we will be heading home since I am done with the whole activities of today”. He left without a single word, as Rosie struggled to carry Emily who was still muttering some words and extremely reluctant to follow Rosie, faling at the stairs at various intervials. “I am not done, I want to give him a piece of my mind, He thinks I am a clumsy, little girl, well, I am not and I will show it to him”. She yelled.Chapter One hundred and Thirty-threeThey found their way to Bastien Rousseau home taking the next available flight. Liam curiosity was the end of him as he needed to know the answers to the questions he was seeking. Iris came the next day he was supposed to leave and met him at his place Her voice was loud as she was speaking. “I can't believe you at all”, “Please…I don't have time for whatever you are saying?”, he retorted. But she wasn't willing to hear the end of it as she continue ranting. Liam knew this wasn't the best of time and Iris has gotten to his nerves by storming at his place unannounced. “Can you leave right now I am not in the mood for all this” he yelled at her. “I won't…I can't believe you would want to abandon us after five years”, “Why are you hell-bent on frustrating me?”, he asked her. “I am not…if we didn't have anything together there was no way that I would be here demanding anything from you”, He checked his time to know if he could still make the

He informed Ashley about it and like planned they found a location to meet. “It's good to see you again”, she said. “Yeah…I am delighted to meet you as well”, She informed him of her discussion with Liam and how he couldn't wait to see him as well. “Very good…I would be done with business by tomorrow so we can meet before I take the next flight to dubai”, “Sure” He left, leaving Ashley behind. She picked up her phone and told Liam everything. As soon as it was nine o clock pm the next day he was supposed to be at the same location to meet with his lookalike. Ashley couldn't wait. If she was startled at first sight then certainly both men would be starstruck. The next day. She dressed up as she didn't want Bastien Rousseau to have a hard time locating the place. He came in as promised. Ashley welcomed him in. They were already sitting down waiting for Liam the moment Liam stepped in, his eye

Chapter One hundred ThirtyShe called him three times. He didn't pick up. She wondered where he must have dropped his phone. That was unusual of him. Worry written over her face. Was he so mad at her now that he wouldn't want to speak to her? She cursed herself for trying to communicate with him. What was she expecting that he would be right there waiting for her after she treated him like that. She picked up her laptop and tried to work but she couldn't focus no matter how hard she tried. She kept on waiting for his call but didn't receive any. It was already getting late and still no words from him. …………Liam was at a business conference. He was so busy that he didn't have any time to process any other thing. When he was done with everyone present. He headed back to his hotel room. His personal assistant informed him about the few missed calls he had. He dismissed her thinking it was his parents who wanted to hear how the contract with the other company went. “Book a cal
Chapter One hundred and Twenty-nine Ashely tried her best to move on with her life despite her best effort she still finds herself thinking about him from time to time. She decided the best thing was to bury herself in work and luckily for her she had a new client and the pay was really good. Chloe came back from work to meet her sister working seriously. She didn't disturb her. She left quietly to her room. The next day Ashely walked in to inform her that she was going to be working on a project and would have to travel to a different city for it. Chloe, who was still a little bit asleep, woke up. “I…I am going to miss you”, “I know right…I would have declined but it's a really big deal which come with a lot of benefits”, “It's alright…you need it as well…a different location would be good for your mental health…and Paris is just the best”, Ashley nodded. She left Chloe who began to prepare for work while she got herself ready for her flight to Paris. “Take care and don't
Chapter One hundred and Twenty-eight The next day Liam found his way to Ashley's home. He met Chloe outside on her way to work. They exchanged greetings with each other. He proceeded to ask if her sister was around. “Yes, she is”, Chloe replied. “She didn't mention you were coming or did you plan to surprise her”, she asked. “Yes…”, he stammered. “Okay”, she replied. “I will inform her before leaving”, She walked back in to call her sister. Liam sighed deeply knowing that was the only way she would agree to have a word with him. “You have a visitor”, Chloe informed Ashley and continued to prepare for work. Ashley came out, hesitating the moment she saw Liam to turn her back or listen to what he had to say. If her sister has been direct about who came to see her. She knew she would have asked her to tell him she wasn't available. She was about to do the latter when he stopped her. “Please…don't go…I need you to hear me out”, She didn't pay him any attention as she conti
